Ask anyone with a Mac, iPhone, or iPad, and they\u2019ll probably be able to attest that AirDrop is often a lifesaver. The ability to wirelessly and easily transfer files between Apple devices takes the friction out of sharing. <\/p>\n

You don\u2019t have to figure out how to email large files (like videos) you\u2019re trying to send to someone \u2014 and there\u2019s no need to upload anything to some cloud service. <\/p>\n

With AirDrop, Apple creates a peer-to-peer Wi-Fi connection between the two devices in an AirDrop exchange. These devices communicate directly and aren\u2019t required to be using the same internet connection.<\/p>\n
